Woke Lecturer Filmed Harassing Christian Evangelist Put on Administrative Leave
Protestia ^ | March 14, 2025 | staff

Posted on 03/14/2025 9:52:50 PM PDT by Morgana

A far-left lecturer at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) who was filmed harassing a Christian street preacher was placed on administrative leave the day before, according to a report from Kera News cited by the Christian Post.

Charles Hermes, who teaches philosophy at the school, was seen engaging in strange behavior towards a street preacher attending the Tarrant County International Women’s Day Unite and Resist Rally, which is about women defending “our rights, our bodies, and our future.”

While attending the event, Hermes invaded evangelist’s personal space while shouting “No justice!”

A day before he wrote on Facebook:

Notably, Hermes has been arrested multiple times for his activism in the past, most recently nabbing a count of criminal trespassing at a pro-Palestine protest.

According to Kera News:

“In a March 7 letter Hermes shared with the Report, Miriam Byrd, the chair of UTA’s Department of Philosophy and Humanities, informed Hermes of his leave and cited “numerous complaints” about his teaching as the reasoning behind the move.

…“UTA has received numerous complaints regarding your courses and teaching this semester. Up until last week you still had not uploaded assignment or substantive readings to your courses,” Byrd wrote in the letter. Hermes said it is not a requirement for faculty to upload assignments to a portal. “UTA is currently reviewing the complaints.”

At first, I thought this was the dude that pulled a gun on a street preacher, but I guess that was a different incident.

We’ve tolerated hateful people like this for far too long. They characterize themselves as ‘social justice warriors’, but they wouldn’t recognize what is true and just even if 1000 metric tons of it was dumped on their head.

Yes, he pulled a gun on him, pointed it at him for a few seconds, then ran off. I thought this was the same incident. It wasn’t.

Hermes invaded evangelist’s personal space while shouting “No justice!”

Which fallacious charge actually flows from the devil, the original classical Communist and Western Liberal, not only in presuming that it was unjust for God to uniquely reign, (Is. 14:13.14) but in essentially psychologically seducing Eve in Gn. 3 to believe that God was unjustly keeping Divinity back from her, and that she was therefore justified in disobeying God in order to obtain what was rightfully hers. (Gn. 3:1-7)

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. (2 Corinthians 11:3)

Western Civilization is in an advanced stage of decay. If the decadence is not reversed--and fast--the Western Nations will collapse in destruction.

One example of this--and only one of many--is the certainty that unless the USA is returned to fiscal responsibility, it will collapse financially and complete destruction of the USA will follow.

Another example is the moral confusion of a large segment of the US population.

The fundamental meaning of the election of President Trump is an insistence of a majority of the American People that the decadence be reversed.

This majority represents the strength of the USA, the segment of the population that is morally and intellectually clear, truthful, benevolent, and responsible. They have empowered Donald Trump.

President Trump has made it clear that decadence, once it has afflicted a civilization, can be reversed, at least if, like a life-threatening disease, it can be reversed in time.

So convinced is he of this that he was willing to risk everything--including his life--to save his beloved USA from decadence and destruction and restore it to ascendancy.

This has brought him the support of all Americans of sound morality and intelligence and of benevolence--and not just Americans but such people all over the world.

Years ago, Oprah Winfrey asked Donald Trump if he would ever consider running for President of the USA. He replied, "Only if my country needed me."

This was not a job he wanted. He offered himself and everything he has to save the USA.

For this he is to be praised and lauded forever, his heroism glorified, his brilliant puissance honored.

Pray that those who have not recognized his quality will do so as soon as possible, that they will heal themselves morally and intellectually, that his herculean tasks will be made easier by the support of all people of good will everywhere, and that victory over the decay and the forces of evil and destruction will be assured.

Unfortunately, most people are no longer moral but amoral in most part to mass media’s portrayal of morality as being “what’s good for me is “good” what’s bad for me is “bad”.

Many are terribly confused morally. For example—of many—they believe that allowing drug addicts to defecate on the city’s sidewalks—or that releasing dangerous or mentally ill criminals to prey on the public—is somehow compassionate and virtuous. It’s not just a matter of stupidity. They are morally confused as well.

Yeah, it’s kinda pointless to participate in public discussions when there’s only ‘your side or my side’. Everyone is alone and pitted against each other. Like healthcare that ignores the patient for the process, the billing process, to effect “healthcare”.

People are already accustomed to relinquish their principles to ‘not be judgmental or discriminatory’ which is The Big Tell on being scammed. I can take a R/T airfare to the far east, get operated on and return at a fraction of the cost and time of going thru the Western Health scam system. People let too many intelligent, amoral people get into their support systems, under no control.

I used to wonder how a madman like Adolf Hitler could hoodwink millions of people into following his psychotic ravings.

I don't wonder now. I understand perfectly.
